Goldeneye is probably too obvious choice when it comes down to it. Was great for its day and still a classic.
If I had to choose a different game though, I would say Quake III Arena or the first Unreal Tournament.
Not only were they one of the high points in PC FPS multiplayer gaming like a decade ago, but the Dreamcast and PS2 ports were exceptionally well done too. My personal pick, the Dreamcast being the better of the two even if both games had some cut down features compared to the PC/PS2 versions, i.e. less bots or none of the huge levels due to system memory limitations.
The sharper graphics, much better controls (Xbox-to-Xbox360 pad is just a refinement of the Dreamcast pad!) and mouse and keyboard controls too which was quite a first for a console. And not to mention, the first FPS on console online play!
Such a shame for the little white box though, it was too ahead of its time back then.

the original Call of Duty multiplayer on PC
I did used to love that too - and unreal.
I also think the xbox control pad slightly lets Halo down. Its too hard, I think, to control the left analogue stick because its not in the middle like the n64 - WHICH WAS AN AMAZING CONTORL PAD AND TRULY INNOVATIVE.
In fact, it really annoys me how all the playstation nuts fail to recognise what a great console the n64 was. Sure, it didnt have THAT many good games - but it is still awesome.
And I still think cartridges are great - because they dont have load times.

My favourite ever FPS? Well, it's not great technically (well, not now anyway) but it was the first one I played and the first one I played online and it got me hooked on online gaming. Step forward...
Quake 2

The N64 analogue and Z trigger button underneath is extremely comfortable, as like the Wii nunchuck attachment now. Just a shame the button layout on the right side of the pad gets confusing at times.
